About Me

Hello and welcome to my blog. My name is Katie. When I as younger, I was so committed to environmentalism that I hardly ever threw anything away. Between my composting and recycling efforts and buying items with little to no packaging, I had virtually no traditional garbage. However, once I had kids that all changed. Although they are tiny, kids seem to really increase the amount of waste you produce. I love to write and love to think about all kinds of topics related to the environment, and because of that, I have decided to start a blog. In this blog, I plan to cover a diverse range of topics about reducing, organising and removing your garbage. The tips are geared toward families but could be used by anyone.

What do you do with your makeup and cosmetics bottles and containers when the product runs out?

Hire Bins
If there's a great deal of waste to remove from your site — for example, if you're having renovation work done and there are building materials everywhere — then having a hired bin or skip on-site will help tenfold.

Before you hire a skip bin for your property, you want to ensure you know how long you can keep the skip, if it will be the right size for your project, and if there are any added fees and costs you might expect. While these questions are somewhat standard, there may be a few others that you should cover with the hire company so you know you get the right skip and what's involved in its use.

If you own a hotel and want to reduce the amount of waste it produces, there are several things you can do. Here are some waste reducing tips to consider:
1. Replace disposable amenities with refillable ones
If you offer small bottles of shampoo, conditioner, lotion or other products in your hotel rooms, consider replacing these bottles with refillable products. Instead of having your employees throw small half empty bottles out in your rubbish bin, you should invest in beautiful ceramic dispensers.
